What If

Recently I was talking to one of my dear friends about all of the "what if" situations in my life. She told me something that really hit me. She said 

"It's really hard to handle the unknown, but the important thing is to not dwell too much on your future! It's not something you can always control, but everything will work out in the end the way it needs to! If something happens, something happens, and if not, then it doesn't and you keep moving forward! Your life has so many wonderful things in it now! Don't stress too much on what could be or could have been! And 'could have been's are not to be dwelled on! Because it didn't happen, it didn't happen for a reason!" 

I am so grateful for her wisdom! We shouldn't worry about what did or did not happen in our lives but rather focus on the now. Obviously I am someone who stresses over the most stupid and the smallest things, but her kind reminder to me that what happens is what is supposed to happen is something that really brought peace to my mind. It reminds me of this quote. 

I need to have faith that things will work out the way Heavenly Father wants/needs them, as well as WHEN he wants/needs them. 

So here's to the unknown. I pray that it goes well for all of us.
